Theo Tams "Collides" (With My Vote)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 17:55:35 -0500

In case you missed it this week, here's Theo Tams. Playing "Collide." And being brilliant. He might be my favorite. Okay, he is.

Sunshine On Her Shoulders: Carly Rae Jepsen

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:29:27 -0500

Carly Rae Jepsen finished third on Canadian Idol last year. She just released her new single "Sunshine On My Shoulders" (yes, the John Denver tune) and is ready to take the Canadian music scene by storm. And if Jacob Hoggard's success is any indication, we like our third-place finishers.

Canadian Idol: The Eliminated Speak

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 20:15:34 -0500

As recapped yesterday (not that you didn't already know), we said goodbye to Lisa, Paul, Jesse and Jessica this week. And thanks to the folks over at idol.ctv.ca, we can read their thoughts on their short-lived Idol experiences. Lisa Bell, 27, Winnipeg, Man. Performed "Dock of the Bay" (Otis Redding)

Catching Up and Saying Goodbye

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:42:09 -0500

Hello, all. Sorry for my absence. Canada Day took me away from my computer and, more shockingly, my television. So I'm only now catching up on all things Idol.... Canada voted and Lisa Bell from Winnipeg, MB, Paul Clifford from Port Moody, BC, Jesse Cottam from Calgary, AB, and Jessica

Famous Last Words?

Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:48:01 -0500

As promised yesterday, I've got snippets (and links) of the eliminated competitors' exit interviews. We've all seen how non-winners can go on to meet pretty remarkable success, but so far, that has only been seen with those who've made it fairly far in the competition. Take Jacob Hoggard and

Four Goodbyes

Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:12:00 -0500

As was predicted by yours truly, it's the year of the boy. Last night's elimination episode had us saying goodbye to three of our nine female singers: Lindsay Barr, Tetiana Ostapowych and Lindsay Robins. And Shaun Francisco. I was pleasantly surprised by the format of last night's show. The

First Elimination in Minutes

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 19:06:11 -0500

Who did you vote for last night? More importantly, who do you think is going home? It's hard to predict when there's no voting pattern to refer to. But I'm quite confident that it's the year of the boy. Highlights: Sebastian, the weakest singer, was praised for the best performance.

Twelve Down, Twelve To Go....

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 19:31:10 -0500

Good evening, Idol fans. I'm assuming you're currently getting ready for tonight's round of performances. I have to admit, last night's show, while full of solid numbers, didn't wow me. I tend to get my hopes up a little too high after the audition shows. Never fear, I'll adjust to

Canadian Idol: Catch Up Tonight

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 18:39:16 -0500

For those of you who missed the Top 200 show (and subsequent whittling down to the Top 24), CTV is airing encore presentations of the past week's episodes tonight at 8 and 9. Once you're all caught up, be sure to check out the voting tips and times over at

Meet the Top 24

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 20:09:34 -0500

Over 10,000 auditioned. Only 24 remain. Ladies and gentlemen, your Top 24: Amberly Thiessen - 18, Seven Persons, AB Adam Castelli - 26, Hamilton, ON Tetiana Ostapowych, 25 - Toronto, ON Mitch MacDonald, 22 - Port Hood, NS Lindsay Barr, 26 - Halifax, NS Mark Day, 19 - Portugal Cove,

Top 24 Instead

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 19:34:08 -0500

I didn't mean to lie when I said that last night's show would whittle down the competitors to 22. Apparently, Idol producers chose to throw us a curve ball and let 24 through instead. Sorry for not being psychic. The real shocker was that they didn't stick to the typical

Tonight: The Top 22

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:44:41 -0500

Last night's show was packed with talent. Some of the group harmonies were ridiculously good. And some were "meh." Which means that it's time for cuts, cuts and more cuts.... Tonight we'll see the group whittled down to 22. And then the show becomes interactive and you can play with

Tonight: The Top 200

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:02:06 -0500

Good evening, Canadian Idol fans. Just reminding you to tune in to CTV tonight at 9 p.m. to check out the top 200. The talent bar is rising and the pressure is on. So curl up on the couch and start picking your favorites. Because nothing is more satisfying than

Last Night's Recap

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:44:34 -0500

It's not the same thing as watching the show, but there's a pretty decent recap here of last night's show. And since TV fans SHOULD be literate, have at it. I'm still on the fence about Jully Black's mentor role this season. Perhaps she'll grow on me. Or perhaps she'll

The Stalking Continues....

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 22:11:03 -0500

It's a little-known fact, but occasionally bloggers are permitted to walk away from their computers. And this evening that's just what I did. I was sitting in a Starbucks (a second home for writers. It's part of the job description) waiting for a friend, when Kalan Porter walked in. He
